I can reproduce it reliably by booting the Live CD (x86_64). While usplash shows up correctly, after X has loaded and while KDE is loading the screen becomes garbled - just the mouse pointer shows correctly (see attached photo). This can be worked around by switching to any text console and switching back using Ctrl+Alt+F7.
